Have spent most of the past few days either posting to my blog at http://robertnelsononline.com/blog/ or rebuilding from "raw"(as Windows calls it)my WinXPSP2 computer. In the process I found out some things that I thought where caused by something else where the results of problems in the OS.

So will certainly have to try to stay on top of things better. Like many I am glad that 2004 is history and hope that 2005 is better. Things like the tsunami underscore the lack of real problems at my end. As always Americans are rising to the occasion and donating to help the victims.Maybe now there will some kind of early warning system put in place.
